Cardinals instructional camp pitching plans

Who is pitching when in St. Louis Cardinals instructional camp in Jupiter, Florida.

Though I left the St. Louis Cardinals instructional camp in Jupiter, Florida prior to its end, I thought I would share the tentative pitching plans the rest of the way – the final eight days of a camp that ends on October 13.

You will only see 11 names below. Yunior Castillo and Max Foody are in camp and do not appear to have any significant injury, but are not in the pitching schedule that follows. In fact, the photo above is of Castillo throwing a bullpen on Wednesday.

Two others are no longer in camp due to injury.

Ben Freeman was a part of the instructional league roster but suffered a recurrence of a late-season shoulder injury and was sent home with exercises to strengthen and reduce stress on it.

Converted third baseman Sam Tuivailala is also out of camp due to injury, specifically a recurrence of medial elbow pain and bicep tendinitis. He also has returned home with a rehab plan versus requiring a surgical procedure.
